Multiple modules provide information on everything from TCP packets to latency but report generation is slow
CA Application Delivery Analysis (ADA) When it comes to application and client slowness, this module is able to monitor and analyze TCP packets between clients and servers, providing network metrics, latency, TTL and more. It comes with a friendly GUI, filter, and report function, is easy for management level to understand, and helps network engineers narrow down the problem area. CA Network Flow Analysis (NFA) This module gives you both live and historical network traffic data. Shows which application IP, protocol, or client IP is using the bandwidth, or whether it is an ISP issue. CA NetVoyant Some applications are very sensitive to latency, jitter and bandwidth (they cannot mix with other traffic). This module helps by providing device status, device metrics, and device utilization. CA Event Manager For critical processes that we may need to monitor 24/7, this module helps collect alarms, traps and log streams. This enables the operations team take action quickly.

Aids significantly in the threat-hunting process and provides a score-based evaluation of user experience
There are many valuable features, but understanding end-user response times stands out. It provides a score-based evaluation of user experience, helping customers quickly pinpoint whether issues originate from the network, server, client, or application. Additionally, it facilitates in-depth analysis of application dependencies. The retrospective network analysis capability of Observer GigaStor has been beneficial. It's a pivotal feature for network performance solutions. However, I prefer to consider the entire solution suite - GigaStor, along with GigaFlow and Apex - for comprehensive network visibility and monitoring. So, I prefer to integrate all three solutions to provide the best visibility. They complement each other well, with Apex aggregating and correlating data from both GigaStor and GigaFlow to enhance environmental understanding and troubleshooting efficiency.
